Does anyone get an RDJ as Tony Stark vibe from this guy?

I had no idea those things were practical effects. All these years I just assumed they were CGI.

Brilliant movie! i saw this movie in theaters at 8 years old and left an impression on me, i realized who Cameron was even after i saw Aliens in theaters and became a fan of him.

Stan Winston was not involved with The Abyss. Being the intelligent artisan he was, he told Mr. Cameron that his request for these aliens was not possible at the time. I, like a moron, said: sure.
